There seems to be a common misconception that once you move from on premises SQL Server to Azure PaaS offerings a DBA is no longer required. This perception is wrong and in the session I’ll show you why. As a business intelligence consultant I develop data platform solutions in Azure that once productionised need administration. As the title suggests, be my Azure DBA. Maybe not DB for database. Maybe in Azure I need a DSA, a Data Services Administrator. Specifically we’ll cover a real business intelligence solution in Azure that uses Data Factory, Data Lake, Batch Service, Blob Storage and Azure AD. Help me administer this next generation data solution.
